PRACTICAL WORK SESSIONS
WREN Group practical work- update
For those who have joined previous work parties there was good news! We no longer had to walk to the Pump House to collect the required tools before each session and then walk back to the Pump House to return them when we have finished working. We obtained a four-wheeled trolley for transporting all the equipment needed; the trolley’s off-road tyres enabled us to transport the equipment to any spot in Wanstead Park.
